The CG978 is a commercial glass rack extender designed to click securely onto your existing full-size Cambro Camracks, instantly giving you the extra height needed to protect everything from pint glasses to elegant cocktail stems.

  • Smart Modularity: Instantly adapts your existing racks for taller, more delicate glassware.
  • Compatibility Check: Only designed for specific Cambro full-size Camracks, not a universal fit.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Swan Inn, a historic pub in the heart of York, recently upgraded their glassware to include taller, contemporary gin goblets. They quickly found their standard dishwasher racks were too short, leading to frequent breakages and  frustratingly inefficient washing cycles.

"We were losing money on broken glasses every single week. These extenders fitted our existing Cambro racks perfectly and  completely solved the problem overnight. It's a simple fix, but it's been brilliant for us."

Robert Miller – Pub Landlord

The pub reported a reduction in glassware breakage by over 90% in the first month, directly saving on replacement costs and  staff time.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Simply align the extender on top of your full-size 25-compartment Cambro Camrack.
  • Press down firmly on all four corners until you hear and  feel a secure 'click'.
  • Test the connection by gently lifting the extender; it should not wobble or detach.
  • Stack up to four extenders for maximum height, ensuring each one is securely clicked into the one below.

Keeping It Going

  • Rinse after each use to prevent any chemical or limescale build-up.
  • Completely safe for high-temperature commercial dishwashers for thorough cleaning.
  • Periodically check for any cracks or damage, especially around the interlocking connection points.
  • Store in a dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain the long-term integrity of the polypropylene.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glassware Racking

Not sure what fits best? Here’s a quick guide to making the right choice for your glassware.

Measure Your Glassware

Check the height of your tallest glass. Each extender adds 42mm, so you can easily calculate how many you'll need for a perfect fit.

Check Compartment Size

This 25 compartment glass rack extender is ideal for standard tumblers, wine glasses, and  pints. Ensure your glass diameter fits comfortably.

Assess Your Existing Racks

These are specifically designed for Cambro full-size Camracks. It's crucial to check for compatibility before you buy to ensure a secure fit.

Think About Workflow

How often do you change glassware for events or seasonal menus? A modular system like this offers brilliant flexibility for varied service.

Consider the Material

Durable polypropylene is the industry standard for a reason. It's chemical-resistant and  built for the daily rigours of a busy commercial kitchen.

Built to Adapt: The Power of Modular Glassware Racking

Ever feel like you need a different rack for every type of glass? The modular design of this extender solves that. Think of it like building blocks for your bar. Instead of buying whole new, bulky racks every time you introduce a taller glass, these extenders simply click securely onto the Cambro base you already use.

It’s a hugely cost-effective system that grows with your business, saving you precious storage space and  money by ensuring you always have the perfectly sized, protective housing for every glass in your collection.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Pubs & Bars: To safely wash and  store tall pint glasses, pilsner glasses, and  elaborate cocktail stems without risk of damage.
  • Event Caterers: For customising glass racks to securely transport a wide variety of glassware to different venues and  events.
  • Hotels & Restaurants: To maximise commercial dishwasher space and  protect expensive wine glasses and  champagne flutes from breakage.
  • Glass Hire Companies: To create versatile, stackable storage systems that protect valuable inventory during transit and  in the warehouse.
